- by Tariq Kamal, 10 months agoRated 2 out of 5I was using this extension for quite a bit, and honestly I didn't have an issue with the extension itself.
What bothers me is that from what I can tell, the extension's homepage isn't accessible any more, and the extension source doesn't appear on GitHub. I mean… I don't know what's happening, but the fact that I can no longer review the source and contact the developers is a fairly concerning development. I've uninstalled the extension for now. - by Firefox user 15968227, 2 years agoRated 1 out of 5

- by Firefox user 13996115, 4 years agoRated 1 out of 5Dont fall for this, the detector is very Orwellian. Use your brain instead of letting some plugin do it for you
- by Article_86, 4 years agoRated 5 out of 5Thank you for this Add-On ! We need this more than ever and I say this with no bias whatsoever. I have investigated Flagged Sites and have found that it is indeed accurate. These Developers have taken on a MAMMOTH undertaking and I strongly urge them to continue in earnest. Congratulations and Kudos to them, but I must also WARN them to NEVER let this effort 'take on a Life of it's own'. IT WILL HAPPEN ... IT ALWAYS DOES. With that said, I recommend that everyone use the Add-On because no matter how 'smart' you are, it's incredibly easy to get mired in B.S. - Article_86
- by Firefox user 13209635, 4 years agoRated 1 out of 5very naive criteria, extreme liberal bias - conservative links are all "conspiracy"....
- by Firefox user 13972940, 4 years agoRated 2 out of 5This app have potential... I experienced a right political inclination from the developers, but i may be wrong. Anyway, if you guys want some help adapting for Brazilian (portuguese) users, contact me FB.com/CoringaProducoes
- by Rimu, 4 years agoRated 5 out of 5This plugin does a great job.
If you want to add a B.S site, go to http://www.opensources.co/ to do so. - by Linda L, 4 years agoRated 2 out of 5
- by Firefox user 13840214, 4 years agoRated 1 out of 5terrible bias with little features to make up/modify with other lists of sources
- by tom42, 4 years agoRated 5 out of 5Yes CNN is accurate 99.999% of the time, why are people brainwashed?
- by Firefox user 6086730, 4 years agoRated 1 out of 5This Add on has extreme bias, It marks CNN as accurate!? But sites that prove the factual errors of CNN and like sites as "Extreme Bias". Granted netiher side will be 100% accurate in all sources all the time, but it doesn't even seem to make an effort.
- by John Harris, 4 years agoRated 5 out of 5I think it's a bit easy on Fox News, but accurately identifies other sites. The explicit Facebook and Twitter support are especially nice. Accurately rates RT.com as a "state news source." Wish I could add my own sources.
In future would be great if it could add bot detection. - by logix, 4 years agoRated 5 out of 5Know the feeling reading a story going "is this a joke?", only to find out by the end, that it actually was joke? I find it an extremely annoying waste of my time and B.S. Detector eliminates that issue almost completely.
- by KuroTenshi, 4 years agoRated 5 out of 5Alerts about "not reliable" sources I already identified. Seems to work then.
You can still visit the page.
Perfect for a democratic people like me. - by SHOz, 5 years agoRated 1 out of 5Identifies blogs as conspiracy sites even when they just parrot other sites and add no personal content.
- by PERCE-NEIGE, 5 years agoRated 1 out of 5If you are unable to use your brain and your common sense, let someone else doing it for you
- by 008bond, 5 years agoRated 2 out of 51. Does not have the ability to add sources yourself, instead you have to collab with opensources
2. Tons of unreliable sites such as foxnews and cnn which have inaccurate reports, propaganda posts etc are deemed as reliable sources.
2 stars because the add-on is at least functional. - by b, 5 years agoRated 5 out of 5Very good in this turbulent time at helping to identify known (open source vetted) news fraud and click bait sites.
